The Diamond Jubilee weekend

The splendid cake made by my mother for our family Diamond Jubilee party yesterday.

On Sunday we visited St. Mary's Church, Fairford, Glos: it has the only complete set of late medieval (1510-17) stained glass in the country. Here's the window showing scenes from Genesis.

The Fairford Festival in the market square was caught by wet weather like many other celebrations across the country, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. 38 mm of rain fell on Saturday and Sunday here.
